Abstract:A PERCUTANEOUS ACCESS DEVICE (PAD) IS AN ARTIFICIAL APERTURE IN THE SKIN INTENDED ESTABLISH A PERMANENT PASSAGEWAY BETWEEN THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE BODY WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH HOST HOMEOSTASIS. PADS HAVE MULTIPLE POTENTIAL USES AND HAVE BEEN STUDIED EXTENSIVELY IN RELATION TO PERMANENTLY… more

Abstract:THE LONG TERM OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS OF NEWER BIOTECHNOLOGICAL METHODS FOR VACCINE DEVELOPMENT TO ELIMINATE PROBLEMS RESULTING FROM DISEASES CAUSED BY HERPESVIRUS. IT IS PROPOSED TO USE THE "MAREK'S DISEASE SYSTEM" AS AN ANIMAL, VIROLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR MODEL FOR RESEARCH… more

Abstract:NASA'S SPACE SHUTTLE IS LAUNCHED BY THREE LIQUID PROPELLANT ENGINES AND TWO SOLID MOTOR BOOSTERS. THESE BOOSTERS PRODUCE LARGE AMOUNTS OF HYDROGEN CHLORIDE CREATING A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO PERSONNEL AND PROPERTY. THEREFORE, A DEVICE IS NEEDED TO PROVIDE HC1 LOCATION AND CONCENTRATION DATA FOR USE IN… more

Abstract:A NEW TOOLING CONCEPT, SUITED TO THE MANUFACTURE OF COMPONENTS FABRICATED FROM MODERN POLYMERS AND COMPOSITES, IS INVESTIGATED. NEW POLYMER & COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGIES HAVE OUTSTRIPPED THE TOOLING TECHNILOGY REQUIRED TO PRODUCE PARTS. AEROSPACE TOOL BUILDING PRACTICES AND MATERIALS THAT WERE ADEQAUTE… more

Abstract:THE USE OF A HIGH PERFORMANCE EPOXY SHEET MOLDING COMPOUND TO FABRICATE MUNITION DISPENSERS WILL BE STUDIED. THE STRUCTURE WOULD BE FABRICATED USING COMPRESSION OR TRANSFER MOLDING. A MOLD WILL BE MADE FOR A CRITICAL SECTION OF THE CHOSEN DISPENSERS, AND A NUMBER OF MATERIALS TESTED FOR PERFORMANCE.… more

Abstract:QUEST HAS RESEARCHED AND FILED FOR PATENTS IN THE-FIELD OF KNOCK DOWN SHELTERS. THE CONSTRUCTION CONCEPTS COVERED IN THIS APPLICATION MAKE POSSIBLE THE ASSEMBLY OF AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SEALED ENCLOSURE WITH MINIMAL FASTENERS AND TOOLS (ONLY AN ALLEN WRENCH). THE CONSTRUCTION IS BASED ON A TWO FOOT… more

Abstract:THE LONG TERM RESEARCH OBJECTIVE IS TO PRODUCE LIPOPHILIC PENICILLINS OR CEPHALOSPORINS CAPABLE OF CROSSING THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER. SUCH DRUGS WILL BE VALUABLE IN THE TREATMENT OF MENINGITIS, PARTICULARLY THOSE CAUSED BY H. INFLUENZA, N. MENINGIDITIS, OR CERTAIN GROUPS OF STREPTOCOCCI IN NEONATES.… more

Abstract:THE ABILITY OF SELECTED SILICONE-BASED POLYMERS TO DISSOLVE HUMAN CHOLESTEROL AND BILIRUBINATE GALLSTONES IN VIVO WILL BE ASSESSED. GALLSTONES WILL BE CATAGORIZED AS PREDOMINATELY CHOLESTEROL TYPE OR BILIRUBIN TYPE BASED ON COLOR. WEIGHT-MATCHED SETS OF FOUR STONES WILL BE INCUBATED IN BUFFER,… more

Abstract:A VARIATIONAL TECHNIQUE WILL BE USED TO COMPUTE THE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS OF TRAVELING WAVES IN A HELICAL SLOW-WAVE CIRCUIT WITH HELICAL DIELECTRIC SUPPORT. BY GENERALIZING THE TRIAL FIELDS FROM THOSE USED IN AN EARLIER STUDY AND BY APPLYING POINT- MATCHING CONSTRAINTS, AN EFFICIENT COMPUTATION… more

Abstract:IT IS PROPOSED TO DEVELOP A SYSTEM FOR NON-INVASIVE DETECTION OF EARLY ARTERIOSCLEROSIS. THE SYSTEM WILL INVOLVE MEASUREMENT OF TRANSIENT ARTERIAL PRESSURE AND VESSEL WALL MOTION IN RESPONSE TO A SINUSOIDAL PULSE WAVE STIMULUS PRODUCED EXTERNALLY IN A VESSEL. THE TRANSIENT PRESSURES WILL BE OBTAINED… more

Abstract:INJECTION OF SOLID FUEL PELLETS INTO A TOKAMAK REACTOR IS ANATTRACTIVE TECHNIQUE FOR REFUELING. THE CONCEPT IS BASED ONTHE UNIFORM EVAPORATION OF THE CRYOGENIC MATERIAL DURING ITSTRAVEL ACROSS THE MINOR DIAMETER OF THE MACHINE. THE ABLATION RATE IS DETERMINED BY THE PHYSICS OF THE HEAT CONDUCTION… more

Abstract:MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS ARE SUBJECT TO TRAUMA. CERTAIN CHANNELS FAIL FOR PROTRACTED PERIODS OF TIME. THE RED NOISE PROBLEM ARISES WHEN SOME, BUT NOT ALL, OF THE CHANNELS LINKING A SENDER TO A RECEIVER BECOME INOPERATIVE. THE SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM ARE CALLED POOL/SPLIT/ RESTITUTE… more

There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.

Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.

Search for Either Criteria

When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.

Narrowing the Search Results

You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
